STATION ANNOUNCEMENT 
Please read carefully, all of it. 
The season just past has been a hectic one in many 
ways, and we cannot predict that 1945 will be any better. 
Last season mistakes were made in the rush of shipping 
(we made them as well as others) for dependable help 
is just not now available. We will do everything in our 
power to see that your orders are carefully packed and 
to reach you in good growing condition. 
The past two seasons have proven that many persons 
are getting more acquainted with their own home 
grounds and the demands for dahlias and other flowers 
have reached an all time high producing an acute shortage 
all over the country. Our advance orders have depleted 
many of our varieties and others are available in limited 
quantities only, consequently our catalogue offerings are 
of necessity much smaller than other years.

free from disease, true to name and in good growing 
condition when you receive it. If any fail to grow or 
in any way prove untrue we stand ready to replace it 
or refund the full purchase price. More than this we 
cannot accept responsibility for.

amount to hold early orders till shipping time, balance
